The incidents that happen as a result of the relationship between Rekha and Arjun (Unni Lalu) keep the story moving forward towards an open-ended climax.

Entertainment

Rekha is set in a village in the Kasaragod district in northern Kerala. The language used has done justice to the script.

Entertainment

Love and lust are two sides of a coin. Rekha has everything, it has love-making scenes, and online chats via WhatsApp.

Entertainment

The script of the story by the director itself keeps the movie at a good pace. Cinematic elements and the director’s liberty make the movie a superb watch.

Entertainment

Unni Lalu as Arjun has all the mannerisms of a lover. The unemployment issue also gets a passing mention.

Entertainment

The life in villages, the usual marriage-alliance talks for a girl, and a concerned mom are some of the factors that make Rekha realistic.

Entertainment

Rekha has violent scenes which may not be for weak-hearted people. The script also doesn’t give importance to the rule of law. But that’s the freedom of the filmmaker.

Entertainment

Cinematographer Abraham Joseph beautifully captures the scenic beauty of Kasargod and the urban life of Kochi.

Entertainment

The movie also has some good songs composed by The Escape Medium, Milan VS, and Nikhil V.
